< Isaiah 3 >

1 For, lo, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is turning aside from Jerusalem, And from Judah, stay and staff, Every stay of bread, and every stay of water.
みよ主ばんぐんのヱホバ、ヱルサレムおよびユダの頼むところ倚ところなる凡てその頼むところの糧すべてその頼むところの水
2 Hero and man of war, judge and prophet, And diviner and elder,
勇士 戰士 審士 預言者 卜筮者 長老
3 Head of fifty, and accepted of faces, And counsellor, and the wise of artificers, And the intelligent of charmers.
五十人の首 貴顯者 議官 藝に長たる者および言語たくみなるものを除去りたまはん
4 And I have made youths their heads, And sucklings rule over them.
われ童子をもてかれらの君とし 嬰兒にかれらを治めしめん
5 And the people hath exacted — man upon man, Even a man on his neighbour, Enlarge themselves do the youths against the aged, And the lightly esteemed against the honoured.
民たがひに相虐げ 人おのおのその隣をしヘたげ 童子は老たる者にむかひて高ぶり 賤しきものは貴きものに對ひてたかぶらん
6 When one layeth hold on his brother, [Of] the house of his father, [by] the garment, 'Come, a ruler thou art to us, And this ruin [is] under thy hand.'
そのとき人ちちの家にて兄弟にすがりていはん 汝なほ衣ありわれらの有司となりてこの荒敗をその手にてをさめよと
7 He lifteth up, in that day, saying: 'I am not a binder up, And in my house is neither bread nor garment, Ye do not make me a ruler of the people.'
その日かれ聲をあげていはん 我なんぢらを愈すものとなるを得じ わが家に糧なくまた衣なし 我をたてて民の有司とすることなかれと
8 For stumbled hath Jerusalem, and Judah hath fallen, For their tongue and their doings [are] against Jehovah, To provoke the eyes of His glory.
是かれらの舌と行爲とはみなヱホバにそむきてその榮光の目ををかししが故に ヱルサレムは敗れユダは仆れたればなり
9 The appearance of their faces witnessed against them, And their sin, as Sodom, they declared, They have not hidden! Woe to their soul, For they have done to themselves evil.
かれらの面色はその惡きことの證をなし ソドムのごとくその罪をあらはして隱すことをせざるなり かれらの靈魂はわざはひなるかな自らその惡の報をとれり
10 Say ye to the righteous, that [it is] good, Because the fruit of their doings they eat.
なんぢら義人にいへ かならず福祉をうけんと 彼等はそのおこなひの實をくらふべければなり
11 Woe to the wicked — evil, Because the deed of his hand is done to him.
惡者はわざはひなる哉かならず災禍をうけん その手の報きたるべければなり
12 My people — its exactors [are] sucklings, And women have ruled over it. My people — thy eulogists are causing to err, And the way of thy paths swallowed up.
わが民はをさなごに虐げられ婦女にをさめらる 唉わが民よなんぢを導くものは反てなんぢを迷はせ汝のゆくべき途を絶つ
13 Jehovah hath stood up to plead, And He is standing to judge the peoples.
ヱホバ立いでて公理をのべ起てもろもろの民を審判し給ふ
14 Jehovah into judgment doth enter With elders of His people, and its heads: 'And ye, ye have consumed the vineyard, Plunder of the poor [is] in your houses.
ヱホバ來りておのが民の長老ともろもろの君とをさばきて言給はん なんぢらは葡萄園をくひあらせり貧きものより掠めとりたる物はなんぢらの家にあり
15 What — to you? ye bruise My people, And the faces of the poor ye grind.' An affirmation of the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, And Jehovah saith:
いかなれば汝等わが民をふみにじり貧きものの面をすりくだくやと これ主萬軍のヱホバのみことばなり
16 'Because that daughters of Zion have been haughty, And they walk stretching out the neck, And deceiving [with] the eyes, Walking and mincing they go, And with their feet they make a tinkling,
ヱホバまた言給はくシォンの女輩はおごり項をのばしてあるき眼にて媚をおくり徐々としてあゆみゆくその足にはりんりんと音あり
17 The Lord also hath scabbed The crown of the head of daughters of Zion, And Jehovah their simplicity exposeth.
このゆゑに主シオンのむすめらの頭をかぶろにしヱホバ彼らの醜所をあらはし給はん
18 In that day doth the Lord turn aside The beauty of the tinkling ornaments, And of the embroidered works, And of the round tires like moons,
その日主かれらが足にかざれる美はしき釧をとり 瓔珞 半月飾
19 Of the drops, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
耳環 手釧 面帕
20 Of the bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, And of the bands, And of the perfume boxes, and the amulets,
華冠 脛飾 紳 香盒 符嚢
21 Of the seals, and of the nose-rings,
指環 鼻環
22 Of the costly apparel, and of the mantles, And of the coverings, and of the purses,
公服 上衣 外帔 金嚢
23 Of the mirrors, and of the linen garments, And of the hoods, and of the vails,
鏡 細布の衣 首帕 被衣などを取除きたまはん
24 And it hath been, instead of spice is muck, And instead of a girdle, a rope, And instead of curled work, baldness, And instead of a stomacher a girdle of sackcloth.
而して馨はしき香はかはりて臭穣となり 紳はかはりて繩となり 美はしく編たる髪はかぶろとなり華かなる衣はかはりて麁布のころもとなり 麗顔はかはりて烙鐵せられたる痕とならん
25 For instead of glory, thy men by sword do fall, And thy might in battle.
なんぢの男はつるぎにたふれ なんぢの勇士はたたかひに仆るべし
26 And lamented and mourned have her openings, Yea, she hath been emptied, on the earth she sitteth!
その門はなげきかなしみシオンは荒廢れて地にすわらん
